An ugly complexion made Nellie fright,
Her face was all pimply and red,
Though her features were good, and her
blue eyes were bright,
'sWhat plain girl is Nellie!' they said.
But now, as by magic, plain Nellie has
grown
AS fair as an artists bright dream;
Her face is assweet as flower new-blown,
Her cheeks are like peaches and cream.
light,
Her beauty attracts every eye,
And as for the people who called her a
fright,
sWhy, Nellie is handsome" they cry.
And the reason of the change is, that

obscured her beauty. Sold by druggists.

BUFFALO BILL ABROAD.
"A Little Love Affair-What the COWBOYS

The success of sour own Buffalo Bill

mat ne belonged to higher order than their
life he early managed to acquire an educa-
ton and the polish which makes him easy
even in royal society.
His polish is the bitter fruit, it is said, of q
young love experience. When young man
on the plains, wild, woolly and unkempt in
appearance and character, he fell in love
with a dashing little school teacher Full
| of pluck and faith in himself, he proposed
to her; She laughed at him and he-col-
lapsed. !.
After a time he braced up, bought some
books, and began to study.
His defeat proved his victory The girl
was his mascot, and his successes are due to
her. : - -

Shoemaker, of the Cowboy Band, writes !:
Some weeks ago I was suffering from
great disorder of the liver and kidneys and
general prostration. I was forced to quit
work and take my bed I called in physi-

in as good health as at any time in my fife. ),
Two other members Of the Wild West
show, Nave Beardsley, pony express rider,
and Jim Mitchell, a cowboy, add to this
statement of Shoemaker's, that in their lon
experience on the plains, from change Of
water, climate, and mode Of life, and severe
riding, they became subject to liver and
kidney diseases, and they have found a sure
remedy for these troubles in Warmers safe
cure. Nave Beardsley says: 81 constantly

BUFFALO Bill has pluck and courage and
hard sense, and not only controls all the
wild elements that make up the Wild West
show, but controls himself.
bis experience as scout makes him wary,
dlscreet and shrewd. He quickly learns
the best way to secure results, and, like a
true man; has no prejudices against any
tnlng that proves its merits.
Buffalo Bill is so popular in England he
may come home a 'tSir William. s But if
not he will probably enjoy himself quite as
we'll, having secured fortune ample
enough for all his wants, title or no title.

A Popular Novelist on "Love..
Love is like a flower in the desert.

Love is like flower in the desert.
1t is like the aloe of Arabia that
blooms but once and dies; it blooms in
in the salt emptiness of life, and the
brightness of its beauty is set upon the
waste as a star set upon the storm.
1t hath the sun above it that is the
spirit, and about it blows the air of its
own divinity.
Attic echoing of step Love blooms,
l say; say Love blooms and bends her
beauty down to him who passeth by.
He plucketh it, yea, he plucketh the
red cup that is full of honey and bear
eth it away--away across the desert
away till the flower be withered-
till the desert be done.
There is only one perfect flower in
the wilderness of life. That flower is
Love.
There is only one fixed star in the
midst of our wandering. That star is
Love.
There is only one hope in our de-
spairing night. That hope is Love.
All else is false All else is shadow
moving upon water. All else is wind
and vanity.
Who shall say what is the weight OF
the measure of Love? 1t is born of the
flesh, it dwelleth in the spirit. From
each does it draw its COMFORT.
For beauty it is as star.

ABOUT WEED SEEDS.

Tho Number of Perfect Seeds Produced
by Single Burdock Plant.
We work hard during the early part
of the spring and summer months to fit
. the ground for the various crops, and
guard with jealous care the tender
young blade, using cultivator and hoe
to keep down and destroy weeds. We
are surprised to see, soon after a fresh
crop make their appearance, as vigorous
and healthy as the first. We wonder
where they can possibly come from.
There is an adage that zone years
seeding makes seven years wedding"
Plants, like animals that are left tc
shift for themselves, will, in a few
generations, by Natural Selection''

forms which are capable of contendine
with adverse circumstances, and so re-
produce their kind, and unless held in
check would overrun a district. The
dissemination of seeds, as the thistle
and dandelion, which have pappus, or
winged seeds. is very easily accounted
for. The wind carries them across
Held and garden. and they find suita-
bic place to terminate; but of some of
the larger and heavier seeds, it seems
hard to account for the widespread
dissemination. Birds have much to do
with scattering seeds. Also, many are

1have been much interested and in
structed this season in gathering the
seeds of different weeds. The only
thing that seems strange is, that we, as
farmers. have not given the subject
more thought. How many have ever
taken one weed, the burdock, for ex-
ample, and counted the seeds? found
in the rear of my grain barn a nice
patch of burdock Uappa Major) One
OF these selected, and with great pa
tlence counted the seeds of average

found this one plant Was able to fur
nish from 100000 to 100000 perfect
seeds. l also counted and estimated
the number of seeds one large plant of

found to be over 100000. might give
further experience in this matter, but
this will adequately illustrate to the
reader what an enormous amount of
weed seeds are allowed to ripen and
seed the ground.

estimate the number of plants that one

How to Select q Wife,

Good health, good morals, good sense and
COOL temper. are the four essentials for a
good wife. These are the indispensables.
After them come the minor advantages of
good looks, accomplishments, family
position, etc. With the first four, married
life will be comfortable and happy.
Lacking either, it will be in more or,less
degree a failure. Upon good health depends
largely good temper and good looks and to
some extent good sense also, as the best
mind must be affected more or less by the
weaknesses and whims attendant on fraiI
health. Young man, if your wife is falling
into state of invalidism, first of all things
try to restore her health. If she is troubled
